When their arguments about "morality" cease to sway the majority of the public, what do the "Daddy State" supporters resort to? They seek not merely to make unwanted pregnancy something "shameful," but to make abortion a money issue, instead of the private, health and medical issue that it is and has always been.

Nothing is more sacred today than the problem of money.

The hypocrisy of those who support H.R. 3, including our own congressional representative, is only exceeded by the authoritarian impulse that lies behind it. Everywhere in the world authoritarianism rears its head first in the desire of government to control women’s sexuality.

This law seeks not only to deny funds from government, but will ultimately make it impossible for men and women to purchase coverage from private insurers. So, we seem to have developed our own brand of Sharia law advocates: They call themselves conservatives.
